The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Fortunately, Helian Yue got hold of the fruit, and she was so happy that she hurriedly plucked it off its branch and steadied her footing.

But the moment she stood firm on her feet, a furious roar suddenly came, causing her to be slightly startled, and she subconsciously looked sideways.

Not far away, a fire lion was rushing toward them angrily. Its eyes were red and bloodshot, cruel and vicious.

Helian Yue’s small face was white with fear. She was panicked and quickly took a few steps back, but behind her was a ten thousand feet drop over the cliff. She could not retreat anymore.

“Young… Lady…”

Xiao Xiao trembled hard. She was panicking so much and was on the verge of tears.

The fire lion’s gaze was fixed upon Flame Fruit in Helian Yue’s hand. Its ferocious teeth carried a cold aura, and in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Helian Yue.

It opened its bloody mouth wide. Its saliva flowed downward, carrying an unpleasant smell.

Helian Yue’s legs trembled nonstop. It was as if her legs had taken root on the ground, unable to move, and she could only watch as the fire lion pounced in front of her…

Right at this moment…

A light flashed in the sky, lighting up the space above her head.

Helian Yue gradually raised her head and looked around. Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and smashed the fire lion’s head.

Puff!

The fire lion spurted out a mouthful of blood. Its eyes rolled up, and it gradually lost its consciousness.

***

Above the fire lion’s head was a girl dressed in a red robe stained with blood. Her brain buzzed a bit as her fingers gently rubbed her temples, trying to clear her head.

‘State Preceptor?

‘Xiao Ya?’

Feng Ruqing slowly regained her senses.

When she was about to land on the ground just now, there was a force that suddenly came, and to avoid it, she and the state preceptor were forced to let go of their hands. And Xiao Ya… She did not know where Xiao Ya had gone.

‘Hmm?’

As Feng Ruqing raised her eyes, she saw a pretty and adorable little face.

The young girl’s face was pale, and her lips slightly trembled, pointing at Feng Ruqing, unable to say a word.

Feng Ruqing was slightly startled as she lowered her eyes and saw the fire lion that she had crushed was still unconscious. She looked somewhat uncomfortable.

‘Could it be that…

‘This fire lion is the little girl’s pet? Did I just sit on someone’s pet and killed it?

‘No way!’

She was not as heavy as Tang Yin, so the fire lion was not dead yet. It was just passed out.

“Is it yours?”

Feng Ruqing stood up from the fire lion’s head. She was embarrassed, but her face showed nothing.

“It’s okay. It’s not dead yet, I can save…”

Before Feng Ruqing could finish her words, the little girl brought out a long sword from nowhere and pierced the fire lion’s head.

Feng Ruqing was speechless.

‘This girl is so vicious!’

The panic faded from the little girl’s face after she stabbed the fire lion to death.

Xiao Xiao was still trembling as she asked, “Young Lady, this is the fire lion! Why would the fire lion, who has been expelled from the lion beast clan for killing the people in the city back then, appear in this place? It scared the hell out of me…”

Helian Yue glanced at Xiao Xiao. “It’s just a spirit beast. Look at how scared you are… You’ll definitely disgrace me if you go out like this, and Helian Ying will laugh at us!”

She had somehow forgotten that she was so scared just now that she could not even walk and was about to pee her pants.

Helian Yue lifted her chin slightly as she turned to Feng Ruqing. “My name is Helian Yue.”
